A most frightening one for some people. Actually, I'm looking forward to seeing them in Armour Yellow and Harbor Mist Gray, not just a patch.
You almost gave me a heart attack.
Though I did here that they were going to patch UP1995.

And I saw them today (April1) going into Proviso, headed by UP 1995 the CNW heritage unit, so as of about 3 hours ago they were NOT patched -- and that's no foolin'!

Just because what you call 'real' CNW engines are gone, doesn't mean that CNW's dead. Thought you were a fan!
i want 8575 back....*sigh*....or 6847
if it meant losing 8646 or 8701 to get it back, i'd do it. i mean you'd still have a -9 left. just more variety now

"NO FOOLIN" I was standing right next to Dave on a crappy photo day in Lombard, IL and the 2 unpatched units along with UP 1995 rolled by us, finally after waiting several hours and missing the Railroadiana Show at College of Dupage in the process. Here is photographic proof, not Photoshop altered(not very good at that) from April Fools Day 2007.
I guess I should have tried to photoshop in a patch job and added to the April Fool Joke.

At first we were irked by the red CP engines but the more I think of it, some sensitive soul realized this was not the time or place to add UP to the mix.....
